Non-slip bath coating in St Agnes

Non-slip bath coating in St Agnes, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Our hiring checklist

Covering St Agnes

St Agnes is about 39 miles south-west of Penzance, in the Isles of Scilly. We travel to homes and businesses in St Agnes and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. St Agnes is one of 13 towns and villages in the Isles of Scilly we cover.

Every address in TR22 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We also travel to Hugh Town (2 miles north-east), Old Town (2 miles north-east), Porthloo (3 miles north-east), Telegraph (3 miles north-east) and Maypole (3 miles north-east). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so call us to arrange it.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We do not charge extra for travel to St Agnes. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Agnes. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around St Agnes, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

St Agnes questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
